Malo Opatulika mu Phulusa
Salmo la nzeru la Asafu.
Malo opatulika atenthedwa ndi kuphwanyidwa ndi nkhwangwa, palibe mneneri amene watsala, ndipo palibe amene akudziwa kuti zimenezi zitenga nthawi yaitali bwanji. Asafu akukumbutsa Atate wake ntchito zakale — kugawa nyanja, kuphwanya Leviyatani, kukhazikitsa chilimwe ndi dzinja — ndipo akumupempha kuti ayang'ane pangano.
74 1E Atate wathu, nchifukwa chiyani mwatitaya ife kwamuyaya? Nchifukwa chiyani mkwiyo wanu ukufuka pa nkhosa za busa lanu?
2Kumbukirani mpingo wanu, umene munawugula kalekale, umene munawuwombola kukhala fuko la cholowa chanu—Phiri la Ziyoni, kumene munakhala. 3Lozetsani mapazi anu ku mabwinja amuyaya awa, chiwonongeko chonse chimene mdani wabweretsa pa malo opatulika.
4Adani anu abangula mkati mwa malo anu osonkhanirako; anaimika mbendera zawo ngati zizindikiro. 5Anali ngati anthu ogwedeza nkhwangwa mmwamba mu nkhalango yowirira ya mitengo. 6Ndipo tsopano akuphwanya zonse zosema zake ndi nkhwangwa ndi nyundo. 7Anayatsa moto malo anu opatulika; anadetsa pansi malo okhalamo dzina lanu. 8Anadziuza okha, “Tidzaphwanya pamodzi malo awo onse osonkhanirako.” Anatentha malo onse osonkhanirako a Atate wathu m'dziko.
9Tikuona kuti palibe zizindikiro zathu; palibenso mneneri, ndipo palibe mwa ife amene akudziwa kuti mpaka liti. 10Mpaka liti, Atate wathu, mdani adzanyoza? Kodi mdani adzatukwana dzina lanu kwamuyaya? 11Nchifukwa chiyani mukubweza m'mbuyo dzanja lanu, dzanja lanu lamanja? Litulutseni m'kati mwa chovala chanu, ndipo thetsani zonse!
12Komabe Atate wathu ndiye Mfumu yanga kuyambira kalekale, amene amachita chipulumutso m'dziko lonse lapansi.
13Inu munagawa nyanja ndi mphamvu yanu; munaphwanya mitu ya zilombo za m'nyanja pa madzi. 14Munaphwanya mitu ya Leviyatani; munampereka iye ngati chakudya kwa zolengedwa za m'chipululu. 15Munatsegula akasupe ndi timitsinje; munaumitsa mitsinje yoyenda nthawi zonse. 16Usana ndi wanu, usikunso ndi wanu; munakhazikitsa mwezi ndi dzuwa. 17Munayika malire onse a dziko lapansi; munapanga chilimwe ndi nyengo yozizira.
18Kumbukirani ichi—mdani akuchita chipongwe, Atate wathu, ndipo anthu opusa akutukwana dzina lanu. 19Musapereke moyo wa nkhunda yanu kwa zilombo zakuthengo; musaiwale kwamuyaya moyo wa anthu anu osautsika. a a v19 “Nkhunda yanu” ndi chithunzi chachikondi cha ndakatulo cha anthu a Mulungu, Isiraeli.
20Yang'anani pangano, pakuti malo amdima a dziko adzaza ndi zisa za nkhanza. 21Oponderezedwa asabwerere m'mbuyo ali ndi manyazi; osauka ndi osowa atamande dzina lanu.
22Dzukani, Atate wathu, tetezani mlandu wanu; kumbukirani mmene chitsiru chikukuchitirani chipongwe tsiku lonse. 23Musaiwale phokoso la adani anu, chiwawa cha iwo amene akukuukirani, chimene chikukulirakulira nthawi zonse.
